Call? Tough festival decision

[TightEnd]

It's the £200 rebuy. I have been in great form, there are two tables left and the money starts at 9th

Blinds are 400-800. I have 23k, just above average

I am in the cut off with  and I make a standard raise of 3x BB...a semi steal if you like...would just like the blinds but I'll play it if need be

The Big blind, recently moved to the table, local I think, middle aged, with 25k ish chips but certainly covers me, flat calls

2800 in the middle, two of us see this

Flop

 

He instantly pushes all his chips into the pot

My tournament is on the line

Call? Fold?

Is he putting me on a steal? Has he got a K? Has he got a weak Ace?

Call and double up and be in great shape or call and go home?


You decide.

[Bongo]

You're behind to AA, KK, AK, AQ, AJ and Kx.

If he slow played AA or KK before the flop, then why move in now?

AK and AQ would probably RR you preflop too.

KX? Why bet the lot? Surely he wants a call, why not check - that way he'll at least get some of your chips?

It looks so much like he thinks you can't call and so wants you to go away.

Is it an intricate double bluff? Is he capable of that? but then he'd have to be pretty sure you had an A and would call?

Call? Maybe?

[Wardonkey]

Call and double up and be in great shape or call and go home?

You decide.

I'm taking one of those 2 options!

[Gilbern74]

Fold.
If he didn't want you to have the blinds he'd could have re-raised pre-flop.
He just joined the table and you haven't yet got his game.
He only need Kx.
How much do you want to stay in the tournament, or are you prepared to go out now?

If he's bluffing it's the perfect time to do it, pre-money, and a good attempt but also a big risk.

I Fold and continue on to win the tourno with a dashing disply of cardsmanship.

[Bongo]

Would he really bet 10* the pot with 3 kings?!

[SupaMonkey]

If he thinks you weren't stealing (therefore are likely to have an ace) and wants to look weak (bearing in mind you don't know anything about each other), then yes.

[Canuck]

Fold....you are risking your like to win a pot that had only 2800 before he pushed in. You only invested 3X the BB which to me you got some great information.

 I know if you call and are right, he has 66 or something you are in the drivers seat but you are above average still and now realize that the new player to the table is reckless or plays huge hands badly.

You fold, compliment him on a well played hand and nail him for everything he has in the next hour.

He LOCAL. He bet instantly with JJ. the flop scared the willies out of him. CALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

really I'd fold but still this is just a forum. CALLLLLLLLLLL  

[Newmanseye]

Not much Info on the BB, If i see someone doing this and I have the other pair, I would call, The raise all in looks to me like he has QQ or JJ, or maybe Ace rag, I'd call I think my ace is good and I Shove them in.

[ACE2M]

I'd probably fold, although i would be deeply confused about it. I would want to call so much. The problem is you just don't know if he is good enough to make that overbet.

[doubleup]

Fold no brainer.  I am not interested in second guessing a player that makes such a bad play (the simple explanation is he has a king anyway).  You will get a better chance to get his chips.  I might show the ten when I folded and say "nice flop for pocket tens"

[shortstack_itb]

Fold, with only 2800 in the pot whats the point in sticking your life on the line....you know too well there will be much better oppotunites to come still, just drag it out make him sweat a little as well

[jezza777]

I would put him on an ace with a lower kicker and call . - it's the only explanation for his play

[Nem]

I would fold.
